Old Rusty Butcher Knife Restoration
Hello folks! Today I want to show you my new restoration project! I found this old rusty butcher knife at flea market, as usual. Price was low: USD $1. For the first look, knife had hard view, very rusty blade + very short tang. Year of issue probably 1970-85. I removed all rusty from knife via rusty remover liquid. After via sandpaper removed old black color from blade.
Due to the tang of knife was very short. I made decision increase the length with a bolt-screw with size diameter 8.8 mm. I cut the bolt head and divided it. Then used two screws to connect to the main tang.
With first wood handle I got a fail, due to my file was very deep and I get a hole in handle. In second time I successful finished it. The knife handle was impregnation with linseed oil. I hope you enjoy this restoration video.
Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!

Thank you!
Great job. Love the dark wood handle.
I'm here for the restorations not perfect English, I live in NYC and speak a mix of languages but none of them perfectly. Great job on the restoration, like how you extended the short tang with the screw, it reminds me of a few knife makers that do that with a piece of wooden dowel and slide the handle on. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, sir!
I love the way you make it become longer tang without welding it.. another wonderful results.. 👍👍👍
Thank you, sir ^_^
Love mixture of "old school " tools and new ones another truly AWESOME job keep it going. As far as you English it is great!
your English is fine my friend, I can understand you just fine or get the jist of what your saying. Keep up the good work.
Keep up the great work! You're English gets better every time I hear you speak! I'm happy for you too! learning a new foreign (different) language is hard. But you are amazing at it so far! 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤😊☺
Thank you so much, sir!
@@ScrewsAndTools no problem! I'm actually a girl lol. I'm currently trying to speak Russian and French so I get the struggle with new languages

Lindo Cada trabalho é mais bonito que o outro
Awesome video I watch a video before bed and it calms me so much love your videos
Thank! glad to hear that ^_^
Beautiful knife. Your handles are great 👍👍🙂.
Ручка и вправду красивая получилась!!!
Ingenious way to extend that tang if you don't have access to a welder. Personally, I would have left the threads on the back end usable and then counter sunk a nut in the end of the handle, so you have a mechanical bond as well as a glue bond. You do nice work. Do not apologize for your English or anything else. In fact, if you care to speak more, I really don't mind. I find accents interesting. The handle does look brilliant on this knife. Fits it more than just in the literal meaning. Turned a rather ugly, cheap knife into a beautiful creation. Never apologize for your materials being a problem. You work with what you have, there is no shame in this.
Thank you! I really appreciate your attention, thank you sir!
Your English is better than anything I can do in another language. No need to apologize! I commend you for trying. English is not an easy language to learn!
Thank you sir!
A simple kitchen knife contains enough material to share with us an excellente video. Greattings and congratulations!!!!
Thank you so much!
Don't be sorry for imperfect anything that you are trying to learn ;) Very proud of you for trying to learn!! Good job on the knife my friend. Can't wait until you are famous and have a store where I can buy your work.
Hello! I glad to see your comments, thank you so much! ^_^
I have a lot of trouble sleeping and need to watch videos til I eventually pass out. I'm really glad I found your channel. I love your work so much. Keep it up my friend!
Thank you for attention. Regards.
English is perfect! Knife is badass too 😎👍
Good work done in a better way
Можно было соединить пластиной как вариант, меньше трудозатрат, впрочем для экшена самое то, распилить болт ножовкой это сильно, вопросов нет!!! Аааахааааа, да какая пластина, когда есть восемдесят ценнейших болтов и винтов, которые нужно использовать и ни один не должен пропасть!!! )))))) Красиво мастеришь, нас развлекаешь, спасибо!!!
Nice job extending the handle and the polish. Came out great. As far as the english goes, if you are not in the states, DONT SWEAT IT. You do you
Thank you, sir!
Another excellent restoration. A beautiful end result. (And if I may say, well done on your English. It is very good!)
Thank you!)
Nice idea for the handle extension. Very creative. Well done.
Ha! nice trick with screw 😁👍❤
Great work I appreciate your videos.
Don't apologize your English is fine .. great video ....🇬🇧👍
Хорошая работа, интересно смотреть.
Fantastic video as always. You should really go on Forged in Fire.
Thank you so much!!! ^_^
Nice! But, in my opinion, it would be better instead of the brace plate to make two faces to the blade at angle ≈45°. Most of the chefs hold the knife so that the thumb and index finger are on the blade.
Хорошая идея с винтом молодец
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
You do really good work!
Good job
Отличная работа. Даже мысли сошлись: первая мысль у меня была про короткий хвостовик.
Spasibo!
Awesome work!!
Thank you!)
Nice job
another nice restoration, what a job you did on the handle,love your beard,keep up the good work Hugs till next time.
Thank you, sir so much!
Nice work. Love it. Also love the safety slippers lol
Thanks))
Your English is Good enough to understand my friend.
Bravo!
It came well. I would personally taper the handle towards the blade but it looks very nice
Don't worry past Alex, your english gets much better 😄. ✨️🔪✨️👍
Very good restoration knife 🔪 👍👍👍
Perfecto job. Best regards
Thanks!)
Your are welcome
Your English is good.
Thank you!
Nice job ,,,,
Si restauraste un cuchillo de carnicero, no debiste probarlo cortando carne? Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Отличная реставрация, но я бы пятку сровнял ;) Но кто мы такие диванные комментаторы)
Я бы сказал не пятку, а форму клинка в целом. Лёжа на диване пишу комен)))
А мне, ледащему на диван-кровати показалось что он Русский)
Güzel bir çalışma oldu dostum, tebrikler. Sap kısmını değişik ve orijinal bir şekilde oluşturdun. Güzeldi.
Teşekkür ederim!
Very nice but I actually liked the look of the blade polishing.
seu trabalho melhorou muito com o tempo....
Good job my friend
Thank you! ^_^
How do people learn this stuff? I am so impressed.
Работа - не придерешься, даже если сильно захотеть! Руки мастера! Но.... Этот нож, думается мне, выкинули даже раньше, чем сломали рукоятку - из-за того, что на нем за время работы, оказалась большая выработка. Поверь - таким ножом, какой-бы о острый не был, работать не удобно. Из-за той пятки, которая сейчас имеется перед рукояткой. Таким ножом не сможешь враскачку нарезать овощи, не сможешь дорезать до доски какой-нибудь мерзлый кусок мяса. Пятка-выступ будет мешать. Лично я вывел-бы лезвие в ровную прямую, сточив пятку.
I don’t know how long you have been working on your English, but it is getting pretty great. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! ^_^
I like the second handle better anyway! Great job! Awesome polishing! T-Wrecks
Thanks)
ur english is very good mate !!
Гениально!
молодец!
Your English is better than some American's great job on the 🔪
Thank you, so much, sir! ^_^
@@ScrewsAndTools your very welcome sir
I'm able to understand what you say, that's good enough for me. I thought the restoration looked good, but one thing that could be problematic for the tang area are the hard 90° edges. Rounded edges are usually better off just for stability's sake of the tang as after heavy use, it can snap there, particularly on hardened steels. But still it's fine nonetheless. One thing to do other than filing or grinding it in, you can also put a small drill bit through there to create a round area to reduce stress
Thank you sir for attention and info! Regards!
Your English speaking is better than some of the native English speakers I know
I think I would have shortened the blade by making the handle longer.
Great job i love the handle!👍🏻 where are you from?
Europe
Your accent is cool
Thank you, Ketie! ^_^
nice ;-)
Great job. You're very creative and resourceful (loved the thing with the screw to enlarge the handle). That handle looks awesome. What kind of wood you used? And you don't have to apologize for your english. You have the balls to speak another language. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Mexico, bro.
Hello, thank you for attention! I used a chestnut tree. Regards.
Гуд. 👍👍👍
La espiga quedo muy débil, la hoja puede ser excelente, pero sin una espiga fuerte es inservible.
Where do you live and get all these things
Another good job - great knife for grapes : ) , and your English is better than mine. One thing - number on screw head was it's hardness not diameter.
Thank you, sir for Information about screw. Sorry for mistake.
Prime example why I dislike short tangs the handle broke off right behind the end of the tang... fine for light duty but when you put to much stress on it they can snap off...
Perfeito
Да, Оксфордский английский просто валит наповал. Но, не это главное. Главное руки. А они, как показывает видео, растут из правильного места.
your knife restorations are great, but you need to grind down the heels on chef/kithen knives. If you set the knife down on its edge there should be no gaps along most of the edge. In this knife you losing several inches of cutting surface.
Thank you for your attention and advice! I really appreciate it!
You should give some shape to this blade.
Was it tempered?
As I understand the the was hardened long time ago.
Great job. Couldn't you have fixed the original handle with the epoxy and saw dust from drilling it out?
Hello, thank you for attention, sir. Yes, but that handle will be have weak spots and it's not safety. In any cases the second way I could try to use new form and made it from special resin epoxy. But I don't have that stuff and lathe machine.
At least you took steps to actually make the hilt and shaped it _BEFORE_ permanently attaching it to the blade I can't explain how much I hate that...
Please don't apologise or worry about your English. Your English may not be perfect, but I understand what you're saying perfectly, and that's what matters.
Thank you so much, sir!
Which country are you from? Ps: This is sooo satisfying to watch...🤤
+1 👍
I think he's French (by the accent)
You should have put a guard or rather a tie to the silk base before fixing the metal rod to enlarge your grip it would have been more aesthetic I already made it s better
I'm pretty sure it's a labor of love when you polish steel but I in a crazy fast way to polish steel. Message me for details if you are interested.
What rust remover did you use?
Hello sir, thank you for attention. It's cheep liquid with name "Yetis".
Screws And Tools seems to work pretty well. I’m still wanting to purchase one of your restored items? Last time you asked where I live which is Sydney, Australia and you completely stopped replying.
@@S3ARCH_N_D3STROY Sorry, I forgot to write you. So, I I'm finished talk with city post office and they said it's impossible to send any knife via post office. Also, I ask about knife size and its irrelevant and also prohibited to send.
